Good morning! I just finished participating in my first Bout of Books Read-a-thon!   For my first time, my goal was to take the experience in.  I did not want to spend my week stressing about meeting specific goals.  I simply tried to participate in as much as I could.   I participated in as many "reading in place" challenges as I could (for a total of 263 pages read).  This event happened to align with vacation days I had already planned.  I also participated in 6 of the 7 daily Instagram pic challenges and one of the Q&A's on Twitter.  I loved connecting with new people and their book recommendations.    Here are my stats: Finished: Camino Winds by John Grisham and Normal People by Sally Rooney. Started: 28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand. Made Progress:  The Husband's Secret by Laine Moriarty on audiobook. Bout of Books 30 starts January 4, 2021, I hope to see you there!  What are your reading goals ...
